Later in 2003, an historic preservation surveyor took the picture of the place reproduced as photo 6. As is evident, it is one thing to move a house, but it is quite another to make it a gem of a home in the way it has now become.

To understand how the Fissell home got from photo 6 to photo 1 (or even moved up D Street), it is helpful to know that Mr. Weins and his father are builders of high-end custom homes. This is another way saying that Mr. Weins knew how to and personally performed a lot of the transformation work. JL
